When Liu Bei came to invest, it was a great opportunity! Cao Cao mobilized his troops and prepared to go to Xuzhou for a rough ride!

Zhang Han and Ji Ling blocked all the major transportation routes between Xuzhou and the outside world in order to completely seal off Xuzhou. Unfortunately, Xuzhou had sufficient supplies, and the city was spacious, allowing them to grow their own food. Zhang Han was temporarily

There was no way to defeat the enemy, so he decided to retreat. But a letter came from Sun Ce, and it said - he will not hesitate to surround him until next year!

Zhang Han had no choice but to add grain, grass, weapons, and additional soldiers from Jiangdong. This environment did not give Zhang Han an excuse to retreat, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to encircle him. And Ji Ling was also pitiful.

Yuan Shu was so proud of his face that even the allies had not left, so how could his own army leave? So Ji Ling and Zhang Han also surrounded Xuzhou. This siege had been going on for almost half a year.

Originally, Cao Cao had used the past six months to prepare almost everything and had already dispatched his army to Xuzhou in the near future. However, he did not expect that something big would happen in Yangzhou at this time!

The foolish Yuan Shu felt that it was only a matter of time before the city of Xuzhou was destroyed, and he also felt that he and his brother Yuan Shao corresponded to each other in the south and north. Their strength was already ahead of Cao Cao, and now they occupied Huainan, with a vast land, abundant food, and a jade seal, so a dreamlike

The idea came to me—become the emperor!

But this is not just a matter of taking the throne. After all, the Han Dynasty has not officially perished. If he proclaims himself emperor at this moment, it is easy to cause civil strife. But the emperor must be worthy, so he only needs to eradicate the dissidents under his command! At least Yuan Shu thought of this.

It was relatively simple. So while the fight was still going on over there in Xuzhou, we held a meeting here to discuss it.

"In the past, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty was only as long as a pavilion in Sishang, but he ruled the world. But after four hundred years, his strength has been exhausted, and the sea is boiling. I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, have returned to the common people. I am willing to obey the heavens and inherit the throne.

Five, how do you feel?" Yuan Shu took a sip of tea and said this directly at the meeting.

However, judging from Yuan Shu's current strength, it is indeed possible to dominate one side!

Let’s talk about the surrounding environment first. South of the Yangtze River is Sun Ce’s land, but after all, Sun Ce has just unified Jiangdong. Although he is strong, he is at best comparable to Yuan Shu. In addition, Sun Ce’s army is all southern soldiers, not good at land.

War, so the threat from Sun Ce can be ignored at all.

Let’s talk about Cao Cao in the Central Plains. Cao Cao has not stopped in the past few years. He is busy maintaining the government and the opposition, and cultivating his own political power. In terms of war, because he is in the center of the Han Dynasty, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans continue to emerge, and the thieves are suppressed to death. More importantly,

What's more, there is a gap between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in terms of combat power. No matter whether infantry or cavalry, they are completely unable to compete with Yuan Shu!

To the east, Lu Bu was now tightly surrounded by him, and Yuan Shu had already regarded Lu Bu as a dead man.

As for Yuan Shao, the great prince in the north, he belongs to his own family. Even if he tries to trick him again, he will not shoot his family at this time.

To sum up, in the current situation, Yuan Shu wants to pretend to be cool, but he is actually fully qualified!

As soon as the question came out, the chief secretary Ge Xiang responded hurriedly: "No! No! Although the Han Dynasty is small, it has not committed the tyranny of Yin Zhou. Now that you are the emperor, everyone will regard this matter as a rebellion.

Oh, this right-leaning thought will definitely be criticized! When the time comes, there will be big-character posters on the walls and parades on the streets, but what will we do?"

He was originally here to catch people who don’t like him, but you dare to jump out! Yuan Shu said angrily: "My surname Yuan comes from Chen, and Chen is a descendant of Emperor Shun! Now there is a jade seal passed down to the country, if

To not be a king is to betray the way of heaven! I have made up my mind, if you say any more, I will kill your whole family and explode your anus!"

As soon as these words came out, there was no other sound behind him.

The next day, Yuan Shu began to plan for his ascension to the throne. In the small Yangzhou, officials from Taiwan and other provinces were actually appointed! They all traveled by dragon and phoenix chariots!

This sudden change of course shocked all the princes in the country! First, Cao Cao refused to agree. I was protecting Emperor Xian. Even in such a good situation, I didn’t dare to proclaim myself emperor. How dare you take the first step? Of course you won’t! Originally, Cao Cao was planning to fight.

Xuzhou, this is great, take Liu Bei with you, immediately count the troops and head towards Yangzhou!

As for Xuzhou, Zhang Han had already received Sun Ce's secret report, and his heart was naturally "thumped"! Although he knew that Yuan Shu had been seeking death, he didn't expect that he acted in such a hurry! Now that Xuzhou has not been captured, how can he claim it?

Oh my God? I really agreed.【

"If you don't seek death, you won't die." This is a famous saying! Of course, Zhang Han did not dare to alarm Ji Ling around Bu Jun. Xingye secretly sent his men to inform Lu Bu in Xuzhou City, seeing the seriousness of the matter, and expressed his readiness to cooperate with Lu Bu.

, destroyed Ji Ling’s army!

As for Lu Bu, he was worried about his inner life. Although he didn't have to worry about food, the entire Xuzhou was besieged and he naturally wanted to break out of the siege! Now that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor is known to the world, Zhang Han's plan was expected to come from the bottom of his heart, so

Full of words!

As for Yuan Shao in the far north, he only said two words about proclaiming himself emperor: idiot.

...

Speaking of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor, Ji Ling had already expected that Zhang Han might turn against him. He would turn over in the morning and in the evening. If you turn over first, you might as well turn over first! With this in mind, Ji Ling immediately adjusted his army and gathered together to prepare to fight Zhang Han.

I was caught off guard! But before I launched the attack, I found Lu Bu rushing out of Xuzhou City like a wild dog with all his men and horses!

At this time, Zhang Han got back together with Ji Ling's team under the guise of joining forces to defeat Lu Bu.

You will naturally understand what happens next.

Ji Ling's 50,000-strong army was attacked by Lu Bu outside and disturbed by Zhang Han inside. After only two days of fighting, the whole army was basically wiped out! Ji Ling also fled back to Yangzhou with only a few dozen riders!

At this time, the three armies had already marched towards Yangzhou, ready to kill Yuan Shu, this idiot, all at once!

Cao Cao led Liu Bei from the north with about 100,000 troops. Zhang Han and Lu Bu came from the east with about 50,000 troops each. Zhou Yu, on behalf of Sun Ce, also crossed the river towards Yangzhou with 30,000 elite troops from Jiangdong.

!

When Yuan Shu learned about this, he was furious and immediately appointed Zhang Xun as his general. He mobilized more than 200,000 Yangzhou troops and divided them into seven groups to deal with enemies everywhere!

The first route is Zhang Xun, the second route is Qiao Rui, the third route is Chen Ji, the fourth route is Lei Bo, the fifth route is Chen Lan, the sixth route is Han Xian, and the seventh route is Yang Feng!

The generals from all walks of life led their subordinates to recruit warriors who were good at fighting, and set off immediately. Yuan Shu himself took 30,000 troops, together with Li Feng, Liang Gang, Lejiu, and Ji Ling, to coordinate the troops of the seven routes and command the overall war.
